In. The book you see it talks about building, a building. A brand building, a master, bran or building, you, know a brand and attracting, a tribe and I thought about that and I thought you know I look. At my life and, it's, barely recognizable. How did I do that so I'm going to tell you some journeys, with me I'm a storyteller I'm, a chicken, suit for the so office so we lived, through stories, i'm gonna tell you some stories I'm, gonna tell you stories about inside, of my power out, of my power when when, I was um my. Last year in college. Which. Is my first year I. Like. To say it like that cuz I sound like I went somewhere yes. Right yes yes it. Wasn't for everybody it just wasn't the environment, for me they kept wanting me to get. Good grades to stay so my. Last. Turn college, I took. An, English class it was that basic english, class you take your first year and i, received the fell and, my. English teacher wasn't the fell that i received it was the fact that she still be in front of the class and said Lisa you, have to be the weakest writer that I've ever met in my entire life, and, with. My smart, mouth the, one that I've always had it travels. With me I said, do. I get a trophy for that does. That come with an award I mean if I'm the best at being your worst give me an award don't. Just put me up on front street so I didn't, get the award I got to fail but anyway that same year I took, a speech class and, I, knew if I couldn't do anything else I could talk cuz I've been getting in trouble for talking all my life and so. Now I got a class that's gonna be the one AI get cuz or maybe, even the one bi get cuz I always got C's for 12, years I got C's I'm I wasn't, I wasn't like vision, I wasn't like some of you I wasn't like rolling I wasn't one of those brilliant students, I was that student or I was still trying to find myself, yes. Yes anybody like that anyone. Like that I don't know if my tribe is here so I was, that kid that I studied, all day and all night just to get a seat and when, other people were upset about getting, a seat like dang I gotta see them like I gotta see go, Lisa, it's your birthday go. Lisa I'm. Like so basically. I don't have to take the class again right as long. As I have to take the class again I'm oh I, passed who. Cares it's, about the 4.5, that the other kids get and, I didn't know what the AP, was what are them at kids doing what does that that thing is that. An app for a program, no. That was advanced, placement you just have nothing to do with that program, and. So, school, for me was difficult. I'm, a kinesthetic, learner, my hands on learner I'm a tactile learner I need to see it hear it touch it breathe, it play it back to you school don't have time for that she. Was very difficult for me so when I took my speech class I said oh no no no see this, speech class I got this thing down I've been talking a long time I'm. Captain, of the cheerleading squad I, was captain of the track team in high school I've been talking on my life I got this down my, teacher said use I want, you to write for speeches so i wrote for speeches, he said I want to be edgy, so, i'm making edgy i want to be a little confrontive, ok, I can do confront I want you to grab the audience ok I can do that so, I write my speeches little did I know he was an ultraconservative, and, his his, version of edgy wasn't mine. I'm. From South Central LA I, live on the edge right I three fights with get home from school edgy is my middle name so. When I wrote about racism. He. Wasn't happy when, i wrote about incest. He. Didn't like it when i wrote about the black panthers, and how they, tried to create a movement but did it with violence and it didn't work but, I understood, their plight he really didn't like that.
So. By, the time I got to the. Grating point I went to his his. Desk and I'm ready to see the first day in my life I'm. Ready and, when. He turned the book around and I saw that I received, and the one thing I knew I knew how to do which speaking, i received. A d-minus. And. He said Miss Nichols i, recommend. You never speak in public that you. Get a desk job. Don't. Worry the story ends great. Don't. Feel bad for me yes. Yes yes, yes. Some. Of your best motivation. Will come in the form of i'll show you motivation, you're. Waiting for all of it be rah-rah kumbaya. We believe in you some of it is in the I'm, sorry I need to show you who I am some. Of it may come in that way and you, gotta use it as your fuel not your fortune, something. Someone has said or done to you some it's situation, in your life you're, still using it as if it's a weight to your leg no that's your fuel, he. Was my fuel and I didn't have a nice show i'll show you energy, I just had the energy of wait a minute hold up I don't. Think you get to define my future, but. For a minute, for, a minute I wasn't mature enough to get that so I leave, college, and all I know is that I'm the weakest rider my English teacher ever met in. Our entire life and she was old. So. That was a long life it, wasn't like it was like 30 years it was like 68, years my. Dang your, whole life, my. Whole life, and. I left college being. Told by my speech professor, I should never speak in public and, now. I'm out to live my dream, yes. Yes. So. Fast, forward 18. Years, I get, recommended, from, a friend to, submit. Stories to Jack can't feel for chicken soup for the, African American soul, which was the newest book their writing and I'm. A great storyteller, she said you know you, should write you should submit the stores cuz you're a great storyteller, I said what can I tell him the story. Or. Do I need to write the story now. Imma tap into some of where you are so I just want you to remember when. You hear your journey say yes yes with me don't leave me up here alone right.
So. All of a sudden I gotten, through the last you. Know it, probably was 10 13, years speaking. In or 18 but in a small group just, in la i'm a motivator, la, i'm, gonna feel good about motivating, la how many guys have had a dream and you keep it contained cuz it's safe for you yes yes you. Know you got a dream but if i keep its. Cool i know i can do that yes, yes cuz. I knew I don't know who I am in the world but in LA I'm the bomb.com. I'm.

Roh rut. Roh. She. Said you, know i look at your website and, what you've done and you're you seen brilliant I don't, understand, why you're saying no to the largest, best-selling. Series in the history, of best-selling. Series you, like don't have to apply they. Just want you why. Are you saying no and without, my permission that, you jumped out I said cuz I'm busy I got a lot of things do again I'm scared. Who's. That then, and. What, happened was I knew. Who I was in, this industry, but. I didn't know if I could succeed, in this industry, how. Many guys are wondering, if that thing that you love the most if you could be successful, at it you're. Wondering, and in the wandering, got you kind of doing this in the wonder, cuz you know what you know over there I'm good over here I'm. Getting my see that. Looks like a a it's. Her a in that environment but it's a seeing my whole life hello. But. It's a I over there. Why. You want me to take that risk to get another crd, minus or fell again I didn't. Realize that the rejection. That, I gotten before was guiding, me but it was the background, music real love I couldn't. Quite hear it anymore does. That make sense you guys I told. You I master yer so I stopped by to stir your soul and, so, I finally took a leap in I said okay imma try it imma try it imma, try it I wrote 10 I wrote five stories, for chicken soup I wrote. Him my keyboard. Was covered, with tears the entire time, the. Entire time how many guys have a story in your belly and you want to be an author or your speaker, raise your hand raise, your hands up high raise, two hands have you really, got a message that you got to get out raise, two hands and stand up if you absolutely can't, leave this planet before, you, get that message out whether it's in writing, whether it's vocally, whether it's through your product, look, around the room look, at all the great messages, in this room that you can't get out give, yourselves a hand for having the courage to stand up. So. So. I wrote, five I wrote five, stories, and he said I want you to collect five stories, as well to see if you can collect a powerful. Story and write, a powerful, story so, now i'm writing five stories crying the whole time if, you don't like my stories, it's okay cuz i won't even lon no chicken soup anyway you, know how, many times you act like you sorta wanna but you don't want to you can care less if you don't get it but you really want come on you guys yes. Yes yes yes. Like it's alright i saw the one but i'm cool if i don't get already making it okay to not hit the goal right. If you don't like me on like him anyway, ryky. And. So i tried, to hide the stories, let me tell you i got published, authors, and I, I wasn't, published on sir at the time so I got published authors to give me their story and I would try to hide my story in between their stories so that their, stories kind of carry my story I'm, like stinky little rat I am trying. To say I'm i am trying, to hide the story and so he called me back seven, days pacing, the floor I don't. Like this whole waiting for approval thing from somebody this don't work for me I own, my own company that's making no money I just, I am all. Set in seven days in he calls me and he, says Lisa. I have good news and not so good news oh my. Shadow went off I don't care about chicken, soup anyway, right still. Doing that justification, he. Said. You. Wrote five powerful, stories, but I need you to be able to collect, stories as powerfully. As you write. Hmm. Rut. Roh Scooby. Doo I, said. Some sorry mr. can't feel say that again, he. Said you are a powerful, story, writer but. The stories you collected, from those other authors they were kind of weak. Your. Dream is, so. Ready for you it's. So ready for you and what. I want you to get is. You're so ready for it. You. Don't have to get ready you were born ready.
You. Were born ready, for your calling, and, now you're waiting, for other people to agree, with you, hmm. Hmm. When. I decided, to be an author and a speaker my family, had a family meeting without. Me. They. Got a show called intervention, that, would be what that was. That. Lisa sitting Sagat a three-year-old, baby she want to go off and talk to people hell she talked all the time why. She can't make a business doing, that. You. Have to be willing. To. Walk by yourself for a while. I'ma. Say something that some of you came here to get if. No, one in your community, gets your vision, it's. Because. God didn't, give it to them. God. Gave it to you I, gave. It to you God, gave it to you God, gave it to you you. Got to be willing to be impregnated. With something, the world has not seen hold. It cherish. It feed, it nurture. It do the work for it and then when you birth it through the world can then see it but, it's it's, in you, so. Don't get mad at, your family if they're not your fans, don't. Get mad at your community, your husband your wife your girlfriend your boyfriend if they don't get the vision it's not theirs, to get it's, yours to. Nurture, and to bring forth yes yes yes yes. So. It took me three and a half years, to write the book, three. And a half years, you, want to talk about building, a brand and building a tribal i'ma give you some key techniques, just real fast we'll, go over a lot more on, day but, I'm gonna give you some real techniques d, I thought, chicken soup was gonna make it a best-seller and they set news flash you, were gonna make it a best seller if it's a best-seller see, we pumping our books every month we'd. Already got 92 under our belt now, they have 146. So, we just have to make a little bit of money on every book and then we'll make a lot of money well. That didn't necessarily agree, with me cuz it was my one opportunity and.
So. I created an, online culture. Where every, month I gather, people on the phone online who, had, an interest in, being in the book and every, month I would listen to their stories over the phone cuz I learned that I had a gift on how to help you shape your story, a gift, on how to help you speak and so I listened to the stories they're not coached him how to tweak it I create this online, community, all around the world I had no database I, had, no database i barely was like I would get online and get lost, like. I'm one of those people right, and so, I had a database, but I had all these people 300. People who had wrote in the chicken soup that, they wanted to a book around african-american, souls so chicken soup gave me all their emails right about 350. Emails, that's it that's. What I started with and every. Month i sent them out an email saying, join, this call if 80. People joined i was happy if, 91. I was elated a hundred, and fifty two people join i wrote, the whole book with a hundred and fifty two people to start with I told, them the stories, I read my stories for them I told him the guidelines, for the stories in every, month for three and a half years, we, got on the lot on the phone and I, would help them with their stories and then when the book was done I, showed. Them three different covers to. Help to get their help to choose the cover why people. Support what they helped to create, yes. Yes. This. Conversation, is about how do you build your tribe right how, do you activate your brand right well I'm gonna tell you how I activated, my brand it wasn't like the back the. Back door, way, alone. Before chick. Long before the secret my, brand was being activated which is what attracted, the, secret to me and so. We got on the phone and I said would. You cover do you like this he'll be like that cover I said okay great this is the cover you choose this is, cover gonna have so i let my community. Create. The book with me then. When the book was done i said okay chicken. Soup wants to do a tour in barnes and nobles and be daunting books five. I need. A little more than that and unfortunately African. Americans, aren't beating down the door to be Dalton in waldenbooks. Reality. But. They will no matter where they've been on Saturday night. They. Will be in church on Sunday Morning. Sun, walking sideways. Some. Sitting straight but, they will be in church on Sunday morning so I'd like to do my tour in church, they said unheard, of we, can't support that see. Some of you have to stop asking permission. Sometimes. You have to say I'm not asking permission I'm giving notice, so. I said I'm sorry see, I was telling about the churches to let you know where I was going they. Said we can't support you financially I. Had, 15, that I had sixteen, thousand, dollars in the bank my. Tour cost me fifteen thousand, and 81 dollars, you. Got to be willing to risk it all to. Gain at all I was. Willing to, risk it all to. Gain at all I got, those same hundred and fifty two people on them on the phone and I said I need, to go to your churches can. You get me in your churches here's the guidelines, if there were at least 500 people, I need to speak at least five minutes. 27. People off that call got me in their churches and i started, the chicken soup / chitlin, circuit tour I. Never. Knew who was picking me up but someone was there I couldn't. Stand the hotel have to stay in their houses they had no money everybody. Made me some version. A man, of chicken, soup. Chicken. And rice chicken, and dumpling chicken and noodles chicken and grease chicken and bread chicken, and something unrecognizable. And. I. Hate it and in, every city they pray for me this baby going cuz it was all african-americans. And they were older people this baby on her journey y'all pay for that baby she she's, selling chicken soup in a book. Half. Um didn't know what I was doing but I was telling her I was on a mission and it was like the modern day like. It was it was the underground. Above-ground, railroad, like I wish, I had a video. Camera in my eyes cuz, every city I go and I just and I was scared I didn't know I'll and I go to baggage claim i had no idea who's freaking up they say you, that baby from chicken soup come. On I got you and, I get in a Honda, I getting, a few goals I get Nick to it as I get on their bicycles. And, I go and I. Speak at the church and then I speak at a community center and in five months I sold ten, thousand, five hundred books.
And Made. A best-seller, on 19, different lists. You. Got to be willing to. Do that thing that, you, didn't, think you would do to, have that thing that you say you want to have you, gotta do what you don't want to do say, what you don't want to say to, be the man the woman you've always, known yourself, to be are. You willing see my grandmother says your conviction, has to cost you something it. Has to cost you something is your conviction, what are you convicted, about what, do you move to do what, has to happen before you leave this planet do, you know it make a list of it and then be willing to be mildly, to mildly to significantly, uncomfortable. To make that thing happen see. I was willing I didn't know I didn't know more than I knew but. I was willing to to, be brilliant in one sense include, us in another and let them both live together my duality, I was. Willing, before. I finished the first 2i got the book deal, for this I got the contract for the second to her via fedex, at somebody's house. Now. That was the book that was the the. Contract, that we were negotiating about, and they didn't want to give it to him because I was. I had, so many different things I wanted to do I was, a risk are you, willing to be a risk. Are.

Every need to fit, in I. Released. The need to be accepted, and standing. Outside that, door waiting for Jack to finish I said. God just let my truth come to me. So. What you saw on the secret. Was me surrendering, to what I didn't, know and what, I knew I knew I know, how, to do me I know, how to love me and all, of a sudden a year later Rhonda, calls me and says you know we got a lot of requests for you um could.

Gotten all three and I've been ok. The. World is waiting on you to show up like you've never shown up before. The. World needs you to be bold. Unapologetic. The, world needs you to find your voice enough to say that thing you've been hesitating. To say to, do that thing you've. Been hesitating, to do to be that man that woman you've, always, known yourself, to be see. You're barely, recognizable. Future, is waiting, for, you and. I, know that, I don't say that from rah rah I say, that cuz i'm leaning it see, I'm that same woman when my son and some of you have heard the story you'll always hear this my story I love, it I don't run out of content, this is just important to always say, so I, remember. The journey and you get a glimpse of the journey but when my son was born I was on government, assistance I. Had. To get in the county, line to help feed my baby I. Had. To get in the wit line the women infinite, children, line to give free butter and free pasta, and free milk to help feed my son Jelani very real for me I, remember. Like it were yesterday I. Remember. Spending in front of the woman promising. Her I remember the words I said I promise. You I won't be on government's assistance long, I know, a lot of people get on and just stay, on it but I just need a little bit of help I just.
I'm, In a low point I just. Need a little help but I promise you I'll, turn around and be a contributor. To the world, and. She was very dismissive like, yeah yeah yeahs lady and, I said I'm sorry can you stop writing and look at me cuz. I need you to know I'm serious. And. She looked up at me and and. She said okay, can. You sign here. Four. Months later I, found, a job and I went back to it I had a handful. Of food stamps I said ma'am, I got a job so I wanted to come and bring your food stands back, she. Said don't. Nobody bring food stands back I. Said. Well I'm not everybody. I'm. Lisa nichols, and. I asked, you three four months ago to see me. And. She said you keep a male. 18. Years ago. That. Was my life, my. Life was struggling, trying, to pay, my bill, and not run out a month money, before I run out of month my, life was not, just robbing, Peter to pay Paul but I was pissing them both off. My. Life was trying to manage my drama manage. My chaos, manage. My limiting, beliefs man, is not being good enough manage. My dark skin that I'm in matters, my full lips that wasn't, so popular all the time manage. My round, hips matters, my kinky hair that the world just didn't show us beautiful I was in the place of trying, to feel like I was enough anyone know what I'm talking about and. In your story is your story whatever it is I was in the in, the story of the people in my life around me being magnificent. And me being mediocre mediocre. I was, managing that I was managing the fact that I knew I had a giant in me I had a giant, in me that was trying to get out but I didn't quite know how to facilitate the, giant out yes yes I didn't. Know how, to help the giant come forth I didn't know that I can be as great as my dreams all I knew was that they were my dreams I didn't, quite know how to make him my reality, and I didn't know that I could because, my teacher said I'm the weakest rider and my teacher said I shouldn't speak in public so how can I be an international. Speaker and a best-selling, author who, do I have the nerve to be that in spite of my past, so. I just stopped by here. To. Remind you that, your. Past. Doesn't. Equal your future. Never. Have never, will. Your. Past is your platform to make the future more delicious. Your. Past just, gives context. To, how delicious, your future gets to be it's not in spite, of your past you get to be majoring I'm not implying everyone has a horrible, past some, of you've had magnificent, pass some.
Of You had amazing, pass and that, qualifies, you to stand on your story, not in your story, so. I just stopped by I, look. At my life today and and my, brand is in over 160, languages. I have six best sellers when, I look at no matter what the one book that's just me I've two chicken soups have the secret I have a couple other compilation, books and the one book that's just me just Lisa was. The one book that I got paid a million, dollars to write, and. I look up and I go a million, dollars is great but, a million dollars is great because my. Teacher said I was the weakest writer she ever met her entire life that's. What makes. And. Nothing, against her. Nothing. Against her I'm grateful for her she made me work there's. No judgment on her people, said did you send her a book I said no it. Was on six best sellers list including, New York time she saw my name. Nothing. Against her though cuz you need that kind of motivation, but. What makes the no, matter what but so delicious, was the journey to get there, so. I'm I'm stepping. Inside your, journey right now to shake you up I'm. Stepping aside your journaling outer rattles, it rattled, any form of complacency, you thought you were gonna live with I'm stepping, aside your, journey right now to remind, you that, the world needs you that your message your gift doesn't, belong, to you it belongs, to us it. Belongs, to the people whose, life you're going to change save. An impact, because you, have the courage to be unstoppable. Because. You have the courage to be unshakable, because. You wouldn't waiver and you were non-negotiable. Your, life has less to do with serving. You than it does to do with serving, us and. So I want to make it uncomfortable for. You, to sit. In any form of mediocracy. See. Because mediocracy. Is crowded. But. There's a whole lot of room up here in excellence I. Just. Stopped by to. Shake. You up a bit to. Stir your soul of it is it. Working yes yes I. Stopped. By to remind you, of your greatness. I, I. Want. To share a story with you and and and I'm last, year I just. I want. A for about five months straight I spent a lot of prayer time asking God where's, my where's I journey now what, am I to do now I've. Exceeded, every, single goal I said every, single one every. Single one I don't even know where to go now like what do I say now cuz. Everything is met and surpassed, and. Um. On. Sep. Tember 18th, I. Still. Get nervous saying, it it's. My first time publicly saying, it. On. September, 18. 2013. My. Company, became the first company, in the self development industry, to. Go public. Okay. Thank. You. So, I say. I guess. My next book, that I should write is, from, public assistance to go in public. Yes. Yes yes, yes. That's. A journey. I'm. That same mother in the government's, assistance line. I'm. The same mama who, ate beanies and weenies for, about five years straight more beanies and weenies, I'm. Not saying mama. So. When I look at my life now it's. Barely. Recognizable. What. I know is, that. It's not just exclusive. For me, what. I know is. That there was no hookup I hooked, myself up, what. I know is, that, you can hook yourself up to. Hook. Your caboose to, someone else's train put, on your seat belt and stay, coachable, I created. My first I worked, for five years to create a program where. I help speakers, really. Take their speaking, business to the next level authors, take, your author. Business to the next level trainers. And coaches to, take your business to the next level to, use the things that I've learned to, really help elevate your business I spent, five days in my office no, phones on no, calls no emails just, creating. The most comprehensive, curriculum, in my, company's, history. Because. In my prayer time last year I asked, God what should I be doing he. Said you've been Michael, Jordan, now. I need you to become Phil Jackson. And. So I'm looking to discover, the Michael Jordan's who, want to share your message those of you stood up those, who raised your hand I want, to invite you we. Have different ways i'll talk about a lot of our Monday different. Ways to show, you the detailed, levels of building, a sustainable business. But, in a sustainable, message, that's, wrapped in a by, a viable. Business that's. Straight enough strict enough and in order, enough to go public if you choose you may not choose that but you want it that clean does, that make sense you guys you. Want to create generational, wealth so we have a program called the speaker's Alliance, and I, won't go into the details now, level. One is called accelerate, me if you're just getting started and you want to jump and learn the foundation. Of a speed the core message how, to create, your snap how, to how to shape, your business you're all of that the second, level is called, profit eyes me if you.
Want To live your dream you need to know how to make money doing it and there's. No apology, and making, money doing what you love nothing. To apologize for and the. Last level is my favorite, is publicized. Me and that's, when you've gone through the first two levels then, I help you get on stage and I, helped put you on my stages as well and we do brand alliance so, there's three levels to help you build your career as a speaker, you'll, be able to talk to JJ raise, your hand and. Bossa. V raise your hand or Jim. Stand up and raise your hand you, can talk to any one of them artem. On monday, will, have a greater, discussion, about it as well so i, want to serve you in that way and if any of you want coach think we can serve in that way as well happy, to and any time you do business with us a.

Ourselves we one of the largest sponsors, of awesomeness, fest through, anything that we aren't here so I want to share that with you in closing. I want, to share a, story about, my grandmother in. 2007. I. Was. I. Was. On Oprah and I. Thought, my grandmother, she. Picked. Cotton as a little. Girl so. She should, go to Oprah, so. I took her with me I thought I was doing my grandmother, a favor. My. Grandmother, she, immediately. Got on her cell phone and said my, baby is taking me to my grandbabies, taking me to Oprah and she talks loud in the cell phone cuz she don't understand how I don't have a court all. Right so she talks loud yeah. We going to Oprah, mm-hmm, we're, gonna stay up the Omni Hotel, where. The guests of Oprah Winfrey stay see, she thinks the name is the, Omni Hotel where the guests of Oprah Winfrey stays cuz that's what comes up at the end of Oprah right yep. Yeah, that big hotel and the Omni Hotel what. I guess the oprah winfrey stay that's what we stand so. We get to Oprah. I'm having a meeting with Rhonda Byrne and jack, canfield, I've ever michael beckwith and everyone else and I come back to the room and my grandmother says baby. This. Lady came and, she. Asked me that I want this thing called a turndown. She. Said I asked her do. That cost. She. Said no so I said come on in and turn down. She. Said baby she left some dessert on your pillow you don't have to order no dessert, that. Was the chocolate shop, the. Next morning I get up and, someone. Here needs to hear this some. Of you are very successful wildly, successful some. Of your just getting started something you're just in, your group growing your businesses, one, hundred percent fifty, percent annually, the. Next morning I get up and I get a phone call and it says miss Nichols the call on the other side of the phone says miss Nichols your Harpo Inc limo is here to pick you up and. I said bhai harpal England mo oh man. I'm. Here, I'm, here. Wanna. Come I'm, here I'm, here after. My coat on I, get, my purse I go to walk out the door my girl mother says baby. And.

Their rooms extra, nasty. She. Said you're not gonna do that baby, you. Gonna honor these people here, she. Said and. You. Left her. A tip because. When your great-great-grandmother. Got a tip we. Got to eat meat that day. She. Said I know you think you're walking on this nice carpet. At, the omni, hotel. She. Said it every time you I'm not joking, I'm. Not exaggerating. She. Thought it was the whole title and. I, know I know you walking on this cart nice car but I know you're walking on those nice shoes with that red burgundy, whatever, bottom. But. You're not walking on the carpet, and I say this to every one of you here my friends you're, not walking on this carpet, you're. Not walking on your shoes my criminal said you're walking, on the shoulders, of, those. People who've come before you your ancestors. Who, did, anything, and, everything, they could so, you can occupy this seat. You're. Not walking, just on your shoes you're walking on someone, else's legacy, that they work to build for you see baby, your great-great-grandmother, knew she wouldn't stay at the Omni Hotel. Should. They knew they wouldn't stay here they could barely get the job so they knew there would never be a guest, but. They hope one day you'd be a guess. She. Says so when you walk out that door and. I'ma. Say to you when you walk out that door on, the way to the catamaran, she said there's. Not just you, walking through that doorway there's, an allegiance, of ancestors. Cheering. You on walking, with you, sandhu, the dream, live. The drain, don't. Get scared and. If you get scared doing, with knees knocking, and teeth chattering, but don't stop, go. To the edge, spread. Your wings and then. Trust, we. Got your back, you. Ain't go fall and, if. You do we'll catch you, we. Are in your blood. You. Woke up enough, this morning, it's. Not your job to sit, down, we. Stood up that's how you can stand so you gotta stand up so they can stand. She. Said baby this. Ain't just your journey. This. Is blanches, journey Bernice's. Journey Clawdeen's, journey Maybelle's. Journey she went some names 20. She. Said they're all with you right now, so. You don't get to sit down you. Get to soar. She. Said now, get. Your coat and your. Purse, and gone. To the limo and. That. Day I had an amazing experience with, Oprah, she. Was the cherry on top of my cake, but. That day my. Grandmother, my. Calling, the. Reminder, it. Was my cake. So. I just stopped by to. Stir. Your soul I, stopped. By, to. Remind you, of your greatness I stopped. By to stand with you as your sister. To. Say we are on our way to a, breathtaking. Unrecognizable. Future, together yes. Yes, yes. Yes are. You willing to do what you've never done yes yes are. You willing to be who've never been yes yes are. You want to play bigger than your play yes yes are, you willing to move with knees knocking, yes yes with. Teeth chattering, yes yes are. You understand, with us yes yes are. You understand, alone if you have to yes yes are. You wanting to leave a legacy yes, yes, then. I'm done vicious. Y'all. Got the message.

Maybe You are the only one who a dream chase u
Big fan of you from India

Make shorter videos and drop the stories. Perhaps then you can get to the point quicker!
Lisa, you have definitely inspired me to start my YouTube channel to help other women Ike myself to live healthy lives. Thank you ❤️❤️
as Thoreau so wisely noted: “we must strike at the root, not the branches”
I adore Lisa!
Writing always came easy to me, but of fear, I am afraid of writing my story to share with the world, but watching this I have decided to writing my story, writing my future, and writing my success.
Lisa Nichols is a powerfully inspirational woman with an amazing abundance of knowledge to share. What were your biggest takeaways from this talk of hers? Lisa Nichols will show you how to communicate and connect with deep, powerful authenticity in her FREE masterclass
RS RSB and who would she be rushing for???
You must be microwave hoe.

So amazing.
I love her. I love her so much
Lisa! I just love watching so many of your videos! Your vision, your perseverance, your dedication and your self-love is inspiring! You keep it real! I love your message!
My take away, in spite of my pass I need to release my truth. Release my truth knowing my family's life will change dramatically.
My college english teacher did me the same way, she went as far as to grade my first english paper an A; funny thing I forgot to put my name on it. Yes, Yes..

Wow and to think I almost didnt watch thhis. you do know how to tell a story! And bring the emotion.
This was my church today. #GRATITUDE
EverydayMel I would subscribe ;)
OMG ! You are amazing ! I needed to hear you speak this truth ! I am hustling hard and trying to build my brand and it is like HARD to get subscribers, and get the social media working. I needed to hear you say exactly what you said ! You are a talent. I think I have now heard this video 100 times now ! THANK YOU!!! WOW P O W E R
The story is the point.. Her story telling encompasses the struggle that she endured & how she overcame the barriers.. In order for the audience to understand the resolution to the obstacles..a story MUST be told..Lisa is very relatable & we all can relate to a story that she tells which in turn allows her audience to develop the skills to tackle whatever there dealing with..this approach is very effective because you see the overall picture.. Not just the end game
I adore you.
Omg... great speech. So powerful. Thank you so much, Lisa! Great job, Mindvalley!
I love and accept myself, just as I am, fully and completely. I watch in miraculous amazement and awe, as everything that's ever hurt me, is dissolved, into pure nothingness. I deserve to be, I am willing to be, I am ready to be, and I AM, finally, at last... 100%, freedom itself, fully realized!
She is a wonderful inspiration.
This is truly speaking to me... Ms Nichols, I don't know when you gave this talk...but it was meant for me... This talk came into existence because I was meant to hear it, God!!!!

You’re not walking on the floor. You’re walking on the shoulders of those that came before you
Amazing
Oh u really made me cry Lisa ❤️
iota fsk
I thank you for being my pusher I may never get to shake your hand but I love you and you voice has been the voice that I needed to hear
Lisa has me in tears. Because my Mom was a day worker too. Mom cleaned hotels, motels, private homes and apartments. She and my Dad were never given anything they worked hard their entire life and if they had 5.00 to put into their savings account they did. They sacrificed so we cold move into a better neighborhood. That's why I get madder than hell at my daughter when she disrespect me. I've been sacrificing for her for 31 years now. How dare she disrespect me! When she disrespects me, she is disrespecting all my ancestors, the shoulders upon which she stands. Maybe because she's 31 and doesn't have a child, she doesn't get it. Maybe she never will. But the disrespect is going to stop.
How could I talk to her I need her as mentor
u see the school system is designed to down grade us and limit our potential ...that is why I always hated school even though I had good grades ...the school system either need to change or be abolish
that is why I always say stop explaining yourself to average ppl ...being average is like being in prison
I just love her !
I’m so glad I finally watched this ☝️ one! LN is amazing ✨ Y E S, Y E S ! ! ‘From Public Assistance, To Going Public’
Amen!!!

Whenever I watch Lisa's videos emotions overwhelm me

Me tooooo
Thanks Lisa for pouring out your soul. I don't have to know how everything will work out in the journey, the most important thing is to just leap. Now, that's called faith.
:-) Yes...Yes...my first course failed was writing when I myself wrote "Meditations" and poetry and wanted to be a "Writer". Instructor just happen to be the writing dept. director an old CockAsia woman. I Reminded myself Martin Luther King Jr. failed philosophy in college. Was great motivation to keep pushing...wake up call to the racist world at age 20 and the agenda. I feared little and was oblivious given I was born and raised in the West Indies till age 13 before coming to America. Stay Strong and focus...and re-education yourself ;-)
Such a beautiful soul, Mis Lisa Nicole. Woooo I believe subscribe to your page back in January never took the time to listen to your story even after months and months your email pops in to my mail box even today I still ignored it. But I have been going thur my healing journey and feel has if nothing I try or do works in my choose of carrier right now but I am still going and believing in my process. I picked my daughter up from school and pulled in the drive way just finish listen to @chancetherapper blessing and maat 42 laws then it went to your video I seat in the car because I know this is a sign from my ancestors and archangels. Wooo I cried with you, I laugh with you. You don’t know how much your story has uplifting my soul to keep going, keep pushing forward and remember my families journey. It’s not bout me. Thank you
Love this so much!!!!!
It took me almost 2 hours to watch this 47 minute video. Within the first 10 minutes i was crying...stopped and cried 5 more minutes in...took notes... hit the back button to listen again and again before moving forward to finally come to the end and stop again with the grandmother story which made me cry harder tears. It’s Lisa’s story but it’s mine too. We are all connected in some way or another. Bless you Lisa.
I have to meet you when I get out of mediocrity! I must thank you when I do..
idk why but i got emotional watching this……. filmed in 2013. and still yet speaking to me in 2019. I AM WEALTHY I AM A SUCCESSFUL COSMETOLOGIST I AM AN INTERNATIONAL TRAVELER MONEY FLOWS TO ME LIKE A RIVER OF WATER!!!
Oh my Gosh!! Just what I was looking for without even realizing it
I've seen quite a few 'inspirational' clips/movies/films/talks... Lisa Nichols (whom I didn't know till seeing this) well? She's TOP.
Yes Yes
Thank you so much. I needed to be reminded. I got too caught up in my own drama. Thank you.
I absolutely love #LisaNichols...I'm so inspired by her story & courage to create so much awesomeness in so many people's lives. #thankyou #weappreciateyou
Wow, amazing! So inspiring!
I love her!
me too girl, me too!
September 18th my birthday. This is the motivation for me to rescue myself and step into my greatness.
Thanks Lisa:)
Lisa, you're nothing less than amazing! This message was awesome! Thanks for sharing! Look out guys because Tellyway YouTube channel is coming! The Bougiez channel is awesome too! We have new vides coming!
“People support what they help to create” *snaps*
Yes, Yes!!! This was POWERFUL ❤️
This was such a Blessing to my life and was absolutely PERFECT timing. I literally was in tears while listening and broke down like a baby after the video was over because she hit too close to home and it touched a soft spot. Blessings like this don't happen by accident and I feel my Protector sent this message for me to hear. My takeaway from Lisa's message is to not allow others or your life circumstances whatever they are, define your outcome. Stick to your vision and your gut because you know yourself better than anyone. Don't compare yourself to others because what's for you is for you no matter how you may feel you don't measure up. When you fight and press through the obstacles, ways will be made for you to help push you to your destination if you just keep your eyes on the finish line. I also took away that you have to be your biggest supporter no matter what. It's no good for others to see your potential or gifts when you don't believe in yourself. Don't allow the little voice to talk you out of a Blessing and know that you are enough, and you have your own special calling that sets you apart from the crowd. It's okay to fall, but dust yourself off and try again. I really hope this touch and reach many like it did for me, and I wish everyone that reads this the best in all their pursuits and endeavors including myself.

Maybe there is pain within that disrespect...something you may be unaware of...if you ask the right questions humble ego maybe she will tell you...my mom considered me disrespectful but it's because she never listened to me....she never HEARD me, so I didnt tell her my true pain until I went to therapy, even though I'm sure I was wrong I felt like she didnt truly love me no matter how much she physically sacraficed and gave to me, in my mind my love was not for purchase...sometimes when we grow up not having anything we try to physically provide for our kids and think that's enough, they need our emotional self...I'm 31 btw with a child so I understand the fine line of motherhood...I do hope you and your daughter work things out...
Watching this at 230am...and I'm loving it. This is speaking to me!!!
Hmmm ! Even though she kept turning them down , I think it’s because she was putting out that energy “ I’m a busy CEO” which would make The Chicken Soup
#unstoppable

Today I changed the rest my life in a instant for the greatest. With tears in my heart and the humbling weight of fear in my heart I'm so excited. Making my thoughts and emotions one is not always easy. It's been a long journey, but I'm ready sore. Thank you so much for that message. It was so uplifting and encouraging. Please stay tuned, you will see my name in lights, "Tyuan". Come on say it with me, Tyuan, Tyuan, Tyuan. There you go you got it! Travel well on your journey, the world needs it.

Love this MsL Nichols. I remember when our visited our Island BVI. Well done.

This message certainly inspires me to keep sharing my gift of reading names on my You Tube Channel. The most stirring part of her message was the conversation with her grandmother --- which was a lesson of humility and gratitude. We should never forget the sacrifices of our ancestors who paved a way for us to go further and fly higher....to help uplift a fallen humanity! Thank you Lisa for sharing your awesome journey of discovering your gift that God gave to you and only you...to do!
Reading names???
When she started bringing up the part where she was struggling to deal with “having a giant” inside of her that she didn’t know how to handle, that hit very close to home.
Some might say this comment is negative......but its truth.....
I am you......you are me.......
The title does not tell us what shes teaching but it grabs those who are poised to benefit the most at that time
Yeah, unfortunately interpersonal skills are not a requirement to become a teacher.
Amazing!!
It lo0ks like she's wearing one big dangly earR1ng...if so, thats awesOMe!!
@jason butcher Dear Jason, I shall attempt to answer your question as simply as possible. In a nutshell, there is a universal law that “ sounds shape matter”. The Creator has given me the innate ability and unique gift to explain how letters and sounds in names shape our life choices. To help you better understand my gift of name reading…. Click on the video links below. I am reading the names of Michael Baisden, a well known radio personality and Nipsey Hussle, the late slain rapper. Michael Baisden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnBQzbZFhms Nipsey Hussle https://youtu.be/fr3FM4IiHO0 Thanks for your question and I hope the videos answers your question about reading names.
YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I love what you s
